I would use painter's tape along the edge of the board where you want to stop. Apply to that point, remove the tape as soon as you reach there. Applying in full sun may reduce the amount of time you have to even out your application but I don't recall having any particular difficulty working the product from shade to sun.

I think you can especially if you have a deck. The only downside I have had is that you can see the roller marks on my concrete patio but other than that it turned out great and isn't uncomfortable to walk on. I was lucky and had temps in the 80's and low humidity and it seemed to cure real fast as I was able to walk on it only after a few hours and if you furniture isn't real heavy you may be able to get away with it after a few days.

we're doing ours in full sun and in sections for the same reason. I will caution you, watch the youtube videos before you begin. I'm finding it's a lot more difficult to get this stuff on evenly....we plan to do a third coat. If you decide to go ahead with using the product, be sure to mix it as well as you can and cover anything you don't want splattered. it may be a good product when it's all done and said, but if I knew then, what I know now, I would have just recovered with a different stain product.

My deck is in the Texas sun (very hot!!) and I took the stuff off of it for about 10 days. After that, everything went back to where it was. No real problems. You can probably do your deck in sections, just be sure to stir the mixture THOROUGHLY each time you use it (and regularly while you're applying it.)

We did ours insetions too because rain was threatening..and we were tired..we just left off at a board..I dont see any problem in doing it section by section but I am no pro..just a user.

Keep it where sunshine hits it, inside or out it does well in cool weather outside, but I place it in my patio window. I spray the leaves and it flourishes for me. Spray when outdoors is too cold. Willa

It works better in warmer weather, and you usually do not want to do it in direct sunlight. In the final step, you cover it with the plastic square and then you want the suns UV rays shining on it. it only takes a few seconds for it to harden.

Hi Donna - I am not certain. Mine are full sun on a fence and are growing like mad. I would say in about another 2 years, my entire fence will be covered. I would attach a picture but I don't see the option to do so here.

Unfortunately, we couldn't with the roof on. If you remove the roof, you can do it. I was disappointed in that, because I wanted to move it from the deck to inside the living room.

I've used it on wooden items outside, but not in the full sun. I puts a beautiful finish on the wood, and may be worth treating every other year.

My table is on my deck covered when not in use as are the chairs around it. When I am using it, I have a 9 foot umbrella overhead. So, with that in mind, it is never too hot to use. It is a metal, though, so left exposed without a cover in the sun may make it hot. I imagine it could be cooled down quickly just wiping the surface with a towel dipped in cold water. Hope my comments have helped you. Enjoy your summer!

Much like using a slightly different shade of paint on a wall that meets at the corner of another color is "OK" because it looks invisible on account of the shade patterns, grass can be the same way. There's no way to tell what your soil composition and weather patterns will make a grass look like until it comes up. I know that if you are not getting 4 hours of sun per day, you have to use a shade resistant seed or you'll not have healthy grass and roots. It's trade off. I say, use the grass seed if you are not getting 4 hours of sun per day.

I've had mine for about 4 mos and it is a great plant, however needs a lot of attention. Recommend that you don't put it outside right away as it will die in extreme climate changes. I would put it where it's mildly warm and move it back and forth from outside to inside for a good month and then have it outside for longer periods of time until you know it can handle the heat and humidity. Mine didn't like the hot outdoors so had to bring it inside for longer periods of time. It is too late in the season to have it outside so I will wait until Spring/Summer to try to have it planted outside permanently.

I did on my outside deck, but make sure it's warm/hot outside when it's done. I live in ohio and so far it's doing fine..

I live in zone six and that is what I have done. Bring it indoors when temps cool off in fall and take back outside when danger of frost has passed. I do have my plants under florescent lights while indoors.

The weather my friend, the weather. Will your placement of the sail be in the sun most of the day, more than likely. Also, the wind factor has much to do with it as well. So, it is any ones guess to how long it will last. Enjoy the time you have with it, mother nature will do the rest.

Mine works great. My instructions said it arrives partially charged and to let it set in the sun for a full daybefore using. I had a couple of partly cloudy days so I left in on a window ledge where it would get full sun from noon to sunset. After the 3rd day I assumed it had plenty of sun and it works great. Just keep itin the sun during the day if you use it and try to avoid letting it run to empty. Recommendation: Leave it in the full sun for 3 days and then use it again, that should do the trick. If you plan to use it everyday and let it run, I would suggest purchasing at least one more to alternate use. I live in Key West where we also get more than our share of great sun. Good luck.

Hi it depends. I took some card board and covered it in foil. We can walk behind it after it was adjusted. On a windy day it goes off from time to time

I applied this is an office building that had all of the windows facing south. It absolutely decreases the amount of light and heat that enter the room. I found that in the later part of the day, when the sun was shining directly in the windows, blinds were still needed. That said, it worked well enough to say that I would do it again if the opportunity ever presented itself. I recommend getting plenty of the installation solution and stiff squeegees. One last suggestion, make sure you have plenty of fresh razor blades. Change than out if you start having any trouble cutting. Trying to work through a dull blade is going to end in frustration.

You, probably, should never leave it on direct sunlight, especially in parking mode. Just disconnect and hide it - it will be much safer.

Once it has been applied and the sun hits it for a couple days good luck getting it back off. I would just cut away any loose pieces and go right over.
